Guidelines for safe and efficient
use
Symbol Description

Symbol Description
Turn off your wireless device when prompted to do so by airport
personnel or aircraft. For information on the use of wireless
devices on board aircraft, contact the crew. If the device has a
"flight mode", this must be activated before boarding an aircraft.
Turn off the device or wireless device when in any area in which
they occur explosions or areas where there are reports that
indicate to "turn off two-way radio" or "electronic devices" to
avoid interfering with the operation of trigger explosions.
Among the areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
include fueling areas are, the holds of ships, facilities for the
transportation or storage of fuel and chemicals, areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal
powders.
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal.
Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather
a fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal
strength, cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is
used only to help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted
and can only be accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need
to return your device for repair.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics
or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when
you drive.
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car
stereos and safety equipment.
• When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with
installed or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or
cause serious injury due to improper performance.
• If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the
volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings.
This is of particular importance when near roads.
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long
periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the
handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes
are set to a reasonable level.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the
people speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear
what you are listening to.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break
if your mobile device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial
impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using
your mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and
follow any regulations or rules.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes
small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you
should never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check with
your local service provider.
• See Removing the battery and Installing the battery for details.
• Available accessories, which are called LG Friends, are optional.
• To purchase optional accessories, contact an LG Customer Service
Centre.
• Available accessories may vary depending on the area or service provider.

Fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition overview
Register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint
recognition function.
You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
• To unlock the screen
• To view the locked content in Gallery or QuickMemo+
When confirming a purchase or signing in to an app, identify yourself by
simply touching the fingerprint sensor.
• Your fingerprint never changes for your whole life, and everyone has a
unique fingerprint. Therefore, your fingerprint can be used by the device
for user identification. Very similar fingerprints from different users
may be recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.
To enhance the device security, set the screen lock to a pattern, PIN or
password.
• If your fingerprint is unrecognised or if you forget the backup PIN,
bring your device to the nearest LG Customer Service Centre and both
register a fingerprint and create a new backup PIN.
Custom-designed Features 32
• A fingerprint may not be recognised properly if the surface of your
finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.
• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint
may not be recognised. Make sure that your finger covers the entire
surface of the Power/Lock key.
• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one
finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
• The device may generate static eletricity if the surrounding air is dry.
If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a
metallic object such as a coin or key before scanning fingerprints to
remove static electrictiy.
Registering fingerprints
You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use
fingerprint identification.
1 Tap Settings General Fingerprints & security
Fingerprints.
• To use this feature, make sure that screen lock is set. If a screen lock
is not set, set the screen lock. See Configuring screen lock settings for
details.
2 Locate the Power/Lock key on the back of the device and gently put
your finger on it to register the fingerprint.
• Gently press the Power/Lock key so that the sensor can recognise your
fingerprint. If you press the Power/Lock key with an excessive force, the
screen lock function may start or the screen may be turned off.
• Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor of
the Power/Lock key.
Custom-designed Features 33
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little
until the fingerprint registers.
4 When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK.
• Tap ADD MORE to register another fingerprint. If you register
only one fingerprint and the corresponding finger is not in a good
condition, the fingerprint recognition may not work well. As the
preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple
fingerprints.

Anti-Theft Guide
Set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset
to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is
lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen
lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen
lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless
your screen is unlocked.
• Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
• Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to
your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the
account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use
the device at all after performing the factory reset.
